swfObject module for drupal

August 30, 2006 at 11:46 am · Filed under Drupal, Drupal Code Snipits

updated: Please see the drupal project: http://drupal.org/project/swfobject_api for updates
updated: swfmodule to more recent version
I created a way to use the swfobject library in drupal. This allows a developer to make a call like:
print swfobject_create($url, $params);
To display a swf file. Url is the web accessible address to the file. Params are the flash parameters- not needed, but if they aren’t set, height and width are set to 100%

Updated September 1, 2006

Changed the syntax of the call (now is swfobject_create)

It force loads the JS file by default, but checks to see if it’s been loaded already

It uses hook_nodeapi to load the js in case a cached function called it originally (checks $node->body for the swfobject)

Has an install file which checks for the presence of the swfobject.js file

This tarball has the swfobject.js file included, however, since it is under the MIT license, it should really be downloaded separately to comply with the GPL

Download here: swfobject.tgz

Proposal for RAT

This is my proposed talk for Renewing the Anarchist Tradition

The Promise and Peril of the “Political”

The term “politics” has long troubled anarchism. As an antistatist political philosophy, anarchism has allowed the definition of political to range from economic structures to what might be loosely called “the revolution of every day life”, creating a myriad of contradictory positions all falling under the same banner. To a degree- perhaps because of this- the revolutionary subject of anarchism has remained both obscured and contested. This talk aims to examine the problems and possibility of existential politics through Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, and Murray Bookchin. By examining the recent Vermont anti-GMO Town-to-Town campaign, this talk hopes to illuminate a conjunction between anarchism and existential politics as a way to focus the revolutionary subject of anarchism.
